OK Friday Of last week, dastardly
attempt was made at Springfield, Rob
ertson county, ILL.,, to kill the Rev. I. ].
Duncan, pastor of the Methodist church
at Pulaski, while he was engaged in de-
livering a lecture on "Prohibition.' Mr..
Duncan, by invitation, was addressing a
large audience in a church, when a ter
rife report at the rear of the editlce
was heard. The audience became
greatly alarmed, and the excitement
was intensified by second report, which
quickly followed the first. Mr.. Duncan
kept cool, and resumed his discourse.
After the conclusion, an examination
of the premises was made, resulting in
the discovery of the fact that two dyn'
amite cartridges had been fired in the
rear of the stand occupied by Mr..

Horrible DenIh of Two Report ers.

Two young reporters, J. Ray Sheppard
aged 26, and E. J. lsaacs, aged 30 years,
were instantly killed about o'clock last
Saturday evening on the Pennsylvania
railroad at Germantown juno ion. The
young men had witnessed the children S
May day at the State Fair grounds and
were returning to the junction station
with Thomas Blynn, reporter of the
Philadelphia Times. Blynn had reached
the station, having crossed the bridge that
spans Broad street, while Sheppard and
ISaacs were fifteen or twenty feet behind.
Just then the Washington express came
laundering along, going about forty miles
an hour, and Blynn and one or two others
called to the young men to hurry. 1saacs
in looking back, made misstep and fell,
and Sheppard fell over him. The engi-
neer put on the air brakes the moment he
got in sight but it was too late. The cow
catcher cought both before the train was
stopped. The manglcd bodies of the
young men were taken from under the
wheels with difficulty. 1,aacs had been
employed on the Press and Sheppard on

AN article in the North .iWr17cu4
Reg7e7y, by Edmund Kirke, on "NIy
Public Life, by President Garfield, y
contains some interesting quotations
from Mr., Garfield on the tariff question.
He said he was Sin favor of the sort of
protection that would ultimately lead TO
liberating one by one the articles Of free
trade )" that he was opposed to prohi-
bitory protection, but was in favor of a
tariff high enough for our people fairly
20 compete and keep our national in
dustries alive, but not so high as to en-
able the manufacturers to combine and
monopolze prices and have no compe-
tition from abroad" That the true pos
ition was " the point OF stable equilib-
rum where you could hold tariff that
would not be knocked down every time
the free traders got into power, but to
give the country stable policy when
the tendency would be toward ameliora-
ton all the while" 1t is believed that
the tariff and revenue reformers of the
country would be perfectly content with
such policy as that mapped out by
General Garfield, and surely America
ought to be able to hold her own with
the nations of the earth. No moFe level
head ever graced the shoulders of any
man than that which President Garfield
carried with him, and the Garfield idea
was always for the best interests of the
country, and the good Of the people,
and the above quotation appears to be
no departure from this line.

In his address before the Common
wealth Club OF Monday, Mr.. George
William Curtis sad this, and 1t was ap-
plauded:
"In this republic, gentlemen, the ad-
minlstration that uses the power of pat
ronage of the postoffice in all its rela
tions, custom houses, the internal rev.
enue service, the Indian service, all the
vast opportunities of contract, and the
range of public employment, the whole
vast system of public salaries, for the
benefit of party, plays at every cleo
ton with loaded dice against the Amer
ican people,
What kind of dice is Mr.. German
playing against the people of Maryland,
when he is using the Federal patronage
in this state to MAINTAIN a political oil
garchy that is as selfish in character as
it is offensive to every lover of pure
government.

FROM WASHINGTON.


Th Temperance Pr"biom--E.pu. Views
OF the President.
WASHINGTON, M, 22.-Ihe a. ion of
the President in directing that 40 hquor
shall bs sold on the national dr.l camp
ground is universally commended. The
President, indeed could net hav3 done
otherwise than to issue such an lirr, as
the camp is on public 1t servation, and
ths law prohibits the sale of liquors or
such. 1t Is perhaps probable, however,
that had not attention been specially di-
rected to the matter by the members OF
one OF the temperance organizations heie
the provision OF law referred to would
have escap ped observation. In connection
with the general subject of abstinence
from and indulgence in alcoholic hever-
ages, Efforts are constantly being made
by the advocates of one side or the ether
to obtain expressions OF opinion from .he
President and other bigh officials. Re
Gently in the Washington correspondence
of the New York Staats Zeiuuug the
President was represented as saying to
Representative Grain, OF IeXes, that he
drank wine and beer because he thought
it did him good; that the question OF
temper ance was an Individual question,
aud the state had no right to interfere
with the habits of those who keep them
selves straight; also, that he did not see
what ght others have to hluuer the Ger
mans from celebrating Sunday or any
other holiday according to their ideas.
As the Presidents views would naturally
be regarded with much interest, the edl-
tor OF the Washington Sentinel, which is
the national organ of the Brewers Asso-
citation, applied to Representative Grain
for an authorized version OF his interview.
Mr.. Grain replied that the subject OF pro-
hibitiou was only casually discussed be-
tween him and the President. II he
President he says, remarked that the
subject OF "a remedy for intemperance was
very serious and difficult problem to
solve; that conflicting views were enter
tanned by men who interested themselves
in the subject, and who were equally hon
est and conscientious. In regard to drink
ing customs, he observed that our people
were to great extent cosmopolitan.
Take the state of things in Buffalo, for
instance, where there are great many
Germans, and they are thrifty people
and make good citizens. There you
might see on Sunday German Win
his family around him sitting at a table
in garden taking beer and quietly en-
joyiug himself according to his notions.
1t would seem hard to him to deprive him
of that enjoyment. On the other hand,
it occasionally happens that young men
get together and drink to excess, and on
Monday morning are unit for business,
and 20 on until they lose their employ
meut and become outcasts. 1t also hap
pens sometimes that the excessive use Of
lntOxicautS drives men to the commission
OF crimes, and even to the gallows. lie
had drank wine ana beer, and had not
seen any reason to object to others doing
the same Ill moderation. There Is no
doubt but that the man who uses liquor
to excess is not equal to the temperate
man il the performance of his duties, and
he had observed this when he had men
working for him.

Dear Fhjg:-I enclose you few lines.
If you think they are readable, use them,
if not consign them to oblivion | some
times scribble for my own amusement
and sometimes for the Western papers,
but have never had the courage to sub
init any of them to the inspection and
criticism of my old friends East. Will
try and have Nevada letter for you be-
fore long. Yours respectfully. J. J. F.
Dainty flowers just springing from the
ground,
I'm pleased to see you come again so fair
Old winters gone his grim remOrseless
round,
Spring takes his place with gentle modest
air.
Sweet flowers! now will the young folks
merry be,
When they see you with them once again;
They'll seek old haunts beneath the green
woods tree,
And welcome you with many a childish
strain.
But not alone to youthful hearts do you
bring joy,
Will smile happier smile, and bless her
girl or boy,
When they bring to her Mays posies sweet
and fair.
The farmer too will greet you with smile,
When he sees you springing from the rich
brown soil,
The cares of life, its burdens and its trials,
Will lighter seem, and cheer him in his
toll.
The invalid who shvers at each chilling
wind,
Will smill again when told that you are
here,
A load of care will leave his clouded mind,
While dreams of health will come his
thoughts to cheer.
Bloom on fair flowers, to all a pleasure and
a joy,
Let your dainty perfume load each passing
breeze,
Bloom on, till autumn's blasts come to de-
stroy
And makes your grave beneath the falling
leaves.

ANTI-SALOON REPUBLICANS.

We publish elsewhere in this issue
as full report as our limited space
will allow of the speeches made by
prominent Republicans at the Anti
Saloon Republican Meeting held in
New York on Wednesday evening. 1t
is apparent to every reflective Repub-
lican, that the line is being drawn rap
idly in our party, between those who
favor, and those who oppose the saloon
influence in politics. We regard the
task as a hopeless one to undertake to
save to the Republican organization
those who are fully committed to the
liquor interest. AS formulated by one
of the speakers of Wednesday evening
"the comparatively few dram-sellers
still in our party, repel from it a much
larger number of better men."
The proposition then resolves itself
simply into this. Whether the Repub-
lican party shall in the vain hope of re-
tanning in its ranks this class of man,
ignore the question of prohibition, or
on the other hand be the inst.umen-
taIity OF its final accomplishment, by
openly and unequivocally committing
itself upon that question. No intelli-
gent man viii deny that the latter course
alone will save large detection from
the Republican ranks in the next Pres
idential contest. Because we believe
that the great mass of Republicans
possess the courage of their convictions
on this subject, and its organization has
the members, intelligence, and force, to
meet the best popular sentiment in
every state in the Union, we hold that
